Can someone help explain to me how you close this knife? It opened easily enough but the directions are so small, even with reading glasses I can't read. I see the lever in the middle of the casing, which I slid to open and a "knob' where the blade...

There is a piece of metal in the middle. Have the blade up and the sharp edge towards you. Near the top of the opening of the handle you will see the metal in the middle. It needs to be pushed to the left and pull the blade down while having it pushed over. I hope that helps but it is the best I can describe it.

This knife has a thumb release like conventional folding knives that must be "held down" while the blade is folded closed. If your knife is stuck open you should unscrew the handle halves and disassemble it.

As the other responders stated you pull the black lever on the right side of the chair - mine jack knifes open and is difficult to close!

Are you serious Merry? Turn knife over and look at the finger groove on the bottom; it has a serrated look and feel (it is curved inward towards the knife handle. If your knife is open then this serrated bar will look crooked at an angle. Push it back towards the side of the knife handle until it is straight. This will free the blade which you close with the other hand. Don't cut yourself please!

Underneath the blade, where the blade closes into, there should be a locking pin. Pull the locking pin to the side and the knife will close.

Sure. It's sort of a weird design, but if you hold the knife parallel to the ground, blade up, you will see a metal band with ribs that basically continues down the blade into the handle. Use your finger or finger nail to slide that toward the center of the knife while slowly closing the blade. I say SLOWLY because it's designed to close on your hand otherwise. Useful tool, not the brightest design. Hope this helps.

there is a small piece of metal located just behind where the blade hinges and where the blade swung out from, with your thumb push the piece of metal toward the outside of the knife the blade should be free now so that you can swing it gently shut

Hi! I finally got the blade off my can opener! There is a little lever that says "blade release" that needed to be pushed down, but, I kept moving the handle either too much or not enough while I pulled on it, but, finally, it popped off. Now if I can only remember how I did it for thenext time!! :) Thank you all.

With knife in hand and blade down there is a red round lever on the right side. Pull that back and then slide the blade lock from where the blade folds to at the same time. And presto its closed.

Below the index finger curve of the handle is a metal sdtud that sticks out. (This also helps you hold on to the knife) When closed, the stud goes to the opposite side of the knife. You flip the stud and the knife opens. To close the knife you just put some pressure on the lock inside the handle of the knife towards you and the knife can close.

It's a liner lock. Hold the open knife in your hand and look down inside where the blade is attached to the handle and on the left is a piece of metal (liner) on the left that you push to the left with your thumb or forefinger to unlock the blade. But you need to close the blade while holding the lock open. Once you get that down you can unlock and close the blade with one hand. But watch your fingers!

When the knife is open, look at the slot in the handle where the blade comes out of. you should see a silver metal piece that you push to the side to retract the blade.

Theres a lock on the inside of the knife. You slide the lock out and close the blade manually.

Within the sleeve there is a lever that locks it into an open position...push it to the left and close the blade.

Mine is very stiff and takes quite an effort to open. The blade has to swing open very firmly for it to lock in place. Pushing the tab to close the knife is taking less of an effort after playing with it for a while. The more that I work with it, the less of an ordeal to open, but it is still not easy and fluid, like my other knives. I'm hoping it gets much better after I work with it for a while, but I am a little disappointed that it is taking so much work to, hopefully, make it usable.

There is some type of spring mechanism that helps the blade fully open. Try looking it up on YouTube to see how it works.
